The falling off in civil service reform
pretensions OF the administration since
the Inauguration is as remarkable as
were its professions prior TO election and
the evidence is accumulatlng shat there
was no sincerity in the movement which
created q hybrid political class kuown
as mug gWumIs, OWL Service Commis-
sioner Edgerton has frequently expressed
himself Of late and the following is given
as hie latest utterance relative to q
colleague on the commission:

and he holds the same sort of faith in
civil reform that / do He is fally in
accord with the iank and file of his
party if his real sentiments were known
bnt has chosen to promnlgste this radi-
cal view vi reform for purpose. This
advocacy OF extreme civil service reform
at the beginning or in the midst OF a
campaign places the president in DO.
sition where he must endorse or dis.
claim these sentiments, and you know
the rank and file of his party certainly
DO not endorse them. The occasion de-
mspds OF us as commissioners simply q

templates any such restrictions ss

The testimony of the newspapers is
that the potato crop Of Dakota has been
somewhat abbreviated BY the un.imely
freezs OF this week, Probably twenty per
Gent of the crop was in the ground when
the cold snap came and this proportion
of the crop was rendered worthless. Da-
kota's potato crop was an enormous one
and in ordinary seasons the destruction
OF oHe-ffth the yield would have brought
little pscuninsry loss. But this fall there
is an active demand for Dakota potatoes
in the drouth states of the east and it is
there that the calamity of fros. will be
most keenly felt.

The number of sheep in the United

$1,000 ,000in 1884. but declined to 49,
000, 900 in 1887. This decline occurred
mainly in the southern and western
states, notably in Texas, and 10 attribut-
ed in great part to the decline in tho
price Of wool since 1884. The increase
in wool imports has about kept pace
With the growth OF our wool products
both having been about doubled since

increased since 1850 nearly seven fold
our imports have increased SO per cent

Sea Coast Defenses.

One of the most important questions be-
fore last Congress was that of sea coast de
lenses. 1t was quite fully discussed, and
there appeared to be but little if any doubt
that the work of constructing defenses for
our sea coast cities should be begun at once.
In fact it was said with very general APP
proval that a portion of the surplus in the
Treasury could not be more wisely used than
in protecting our almost defenseless har-
bors
One of the reasons, doubtless, why there
has been so much delay in this matter, is the
feeling of uncertainty with regard TO the
kind of defenses that it would be advisable
to adopt. Experiments are being made all
the time with torpedoes and dynamite guns,
and results are liable TO be obtained at any
time that would change the whole plan Of
coast detenSes.
Another reason is that, defenseless as our
seaports are, there is widespread confidence
in our ability to meet any emergency that
may arise. Notwithstanding the assertion
that is frequently made that England's
great lron-clads could force their way into
our harbors and destroy our seaport cities,
there is belief in the public mind that
some way would be discovered to prevent
them.
Doubtless the present Congress will take
hold of the sea coast defense question in
business like way. Admiral Porter and
Gen. Duane, Chief of Engineers, in their
annual reports deal with this question very
thoroughly. They point out the necessity
for beginning the work of building fortiti-
cations at once at half dozen or more diff
ferent places. In fact, Gen. Duane has very
little to say about river and harbor i'm
provements. He devotes almost the whole
of his report to sea coast defenses.
A very good beginning has been made
towards building navy, but the work can
scarcely be said to have fairly begun. Mil
lions more must follow the millions that
have already been spent, and even then we
shall not be able to meet upon the sea several
of the other nations on terms Of equality.
There is no immediate danger of this
country becoming involved in war, but
war sometimes comes when leasi expected.
The Canadian newspapers are talking of
the probability of war between this country
and England if the recently appointed COM
mission should not succeed in settling the
fishery trouble This probability may
hasten the action of Congress with regard
to sea coast defenseS

Gave the Crook a Pointer.
From the Chicaqo Journal.

From the chicago journal.
Two gentlemen nelghbors happening to sit
next to each other on the street car on the
morning trip to their offices. one remarked to
the other that he should be bothered all day be-
cause he had left his watch under his pillow
Then they naturally fell into a conversation as
to how they disposed of their valuables AT night
At the next street corner man got off, went
back to the house of the owner of the watch
whom he knew by sight and reputation, and
represented himself to the lady of the house as
a messenger from her husband sent for his
watch left under his pillow. She, finding the
valuable in that place, unsuspectingly handed it
to the thief, who ran no risk whatever of detec-
ton and deliberately walked away with his
booty Another case was that of a lady, some
years ago, who, while ascending on the eleva-
tor of one of our largest dry goods stores, sud
denly discovered that she had left her silver
portemonnaie at some counter. A cash boy was
in the elevator going up to the top floor with
them. Send this boy to the desk for it," said
the lady's friend. Thereupon the lady described
the purse its contents and its inscription. The
boy left the goods he was carrying at their des-
tination, received his return Instructions, and
then went to thu d 4sk. He was Just moment
too late. Il have lust given that purse to a
woman who described it accurately" said the
clerk at the desk and she went Immediately
out of the door" The owner of the purse
should have hethoug ht herself how many audi.
tors she had in the elevator.

The New York Quarantine.

1t would be interesting to know the truth
about the management of quarantine at
New York and the accommodations which
are provided for those who are held in
quarantine on Hoffman and Swinburne
islands, Several of the New York papers,
notably the Star and Times, insist that the
accommodations on the islands are not
sufficient, and that the means pro-
vided for preventing the introduction
of cholera into the country are far from
being satisfactory.
These broad statements based upon alleged
facts, and upon the opinions of several
Philadelphia physicians who have inspected
the quarantine arrangements at New York
have induced ex-senator Thomas c. Platt, the
President of the Quarantine Commission, to
rush into print, and declare that the publ
cations derogatory to the management Of
the New York quarantine are falsehoodS
and have no other purpose than to bring
about the removal of Republicans who have
control of the quarantine, and the appoint
ment of Democrats in their places. Mr..
Platt further hints that the Philadelphia
doctors were Influenced sin making the
statements they did by desire to increase
the business of Philadelphia at the expense
of that of New York
1t is remarkable that SO level-headed a
man as Mr.. Platt is believed to be should be
guilty of the folly of publishing such stuff
He accomplishes nothing beyond creating
the impression that he wants to keep in
office the Republican quarantine officials,
whether they do their whole duty or not
He admits that the accommodations on
Hoffman and Swinburne islands are not
what they ought to b., and that the cholera
infected immigrants who are now detained
fences which are necessary for health and
comfort Mr.. Platt also asserts that
the Governor has vetoed bills con-
tanning appropriations for the cree
ton of hospitals on the islands,
and hints that he did so to bring the man
agement of the Quarantine Commission
INTO disrepute.
In view of the fact that the cholera
which broke out in different places in this
country in 1878 was brought here by a
vessel which was noticeable for cleanliness,
and on which there had been no sickness
during the voyage, Mr.. Platt's reasons for
permitting the Independence, vessel
with immigrants from places where cholera
existed, to go to her wharf after only twenty
four hours detention, is certainly not salts
factory The shaking up which the quar-
antine officials at New York are getting
will probably have the effect of making
Al F,,I
newspapers which have been stirring up
this quarantine matter will deserve the
| thanks of the country.
